Question: Note: n = 1 1 1 - At a construction site ( 5 0 + 0 . 1 n ) tons of cement, 1 7

Note: n=11
1- At a construction site (50+0.1n) tons of cement, 170 tons of sand, (270-0.3n) tons of gravel are available.
As the site manager you know that you have to produce a total of (175+0.1n)m3 of concrete.
In the laboratory the moisture content of sand and gravel was determined as 1.2% and 0.2%, respectively.
And the absorption capacities are 0.8% for both materials.
SSD bulk specific gravities are 2.70 and 2.60 for gravel and sand, respectively.
Specific gravity of cement is 3.15tm3.
It is required to produce concrete with the following proportions;
Cement: 375kgm3, Sand(SSD): 600kgm3, Gravel(SSD): 850kgm3, and wc=0.45.
Calculate the maximum volume of concrete that can be produced with the available materials at the field?
